Pucker Up Darlings-Lip Gloss Favorites

I have always been a lip gloss girl. Sometimes lipstick is just too much but I am a sucker for a great glossy pout. I love coral's, maroon's, nudes and shimmers. Today I wanted to share the ones I have been sporting lately and give some lip gloss reviews and recommendations, thanks to my beauty boxes.

Next up is one of the first ones I ever received and wore it every day.

Bareminerals Marvelous Moxie in Maverick. The color is described as a rosewood shimmer. I'm noticing it looks a lot darker on my hand than on my lips. It smells like chocolate, but is infused with shea butter, avocado and murumuru butters. Enough said.

Bella Pierre Cosmetics Super Lip Gloss in Vanilla Pink. I received this full size one in my Glossybox. At first glance, I did not think I was going to like it as it was pink. But as you can see it is a more shimmery mauve color and it also smells incredible. My hubby really likes it when he kisses me :) It isn't sticky either.....or he wouldn't be kissing me ;) Plus it plumps my lips when I wear it. Cheaper than surgery!

Julep's Lip Gloss in Charming. This came in a Maven box that I ordered and I didn't think I was going to like the color either. It is a shimmery nude color and super pretty on with tons of shimmer.

Benefit's Coralista Ultra Plush Lip Gloss. I knew I was going to love this one! It's coral after all! High shine as you can clearly see. and the perfect summer gloss :) Only con is you have to squeeze it out and I am not a huge fan of that. They also make a blush in this color!

Another winner by Benefit! Hoola Lip Gloss. They also make a bronzer in this color that I use. The gloss is another shimmery nude.

NYX Butter Gloss in Eclair. This came in an Ipsy bag. I was sure I wasn't going to like it as it is pink but it goes on so smooth and creamy and I think it looks great! Thanks to the lighting for making me look orange in the above pic.....haha!

I am wearing Liar. It is really pretty, I also tried 69. They don't come out as dark as they look from the samples though. I put on about 3 coats just to achieve the look above. They are sold in sticks so maybe it comes out darker when not using a lip brush for application.

It is pretty much a chapstick feel in a way. I don't mean to minimize the product in any way, I love it and am glad I received it but so far I haven't been able to justify the $14 price tag. Maybe continuous use will make a difference in plumping up my lips.

I was pleasantly surprised by the NYX butter gloss. I also got it in my ipsy bag and now use it all the time. It seems to have a chameleon effect, too. It looks totally different on my olive toned sister but still super pretty. Not a huge fan of NYX products but this one is a keeper. Also, I can't live without my elf lip exfoliator!
